You know something about you Sixy..... and whats kinda funny if it wasn't so sad. You like to speak in the pleural when making your point.....We this, We that, We the other, ...yet you attack singularly.
Have a look back at your last post. It kind of says something about your reasoning to me. WE don't like him do WE because WE think his viewpoint is invalid don't WE.
I just had a look at my last post. My usage of "I" and "we" seemed appropriate. Could you point out a specific sentence? For instance, you said "WE don't like him do WE because WE think his viewpoint is invalid don't WE" infering that I had said that in so many words. But I didn't say that not even "in so many words". Maybe you felt like I said that because I was criticizing you, but you can't just go making shit up about what people say, even if what they say is criticism of you.
Well, actually you can and you do.
You could always substitute the WE for ME you know, it would sure fit that amazing ego of yours. Sometimes I'm suprised it fits into a box on this forum.
Which is it? If I "attack singularly", then aren't I substituting the WE for ME? How that makes my ego "amazing" is not clear to me. It seems appropriate for me to not "attack" using other people, yes? OTOH, it seems acceptable for any of us on this forum to mention our collective experience as JW's. No, we didn't all have exactly the same experience, but by and large, everyone of us here had a resistance to any and all reason that conflicted with our ingrained JW beliefs. That's just the way it is. By and large, everyone on this forum could kick themselves for that resistance. That's just the way it is.
Who are you Six? Ae you really like this in real life? Or are you just BIG behind your screen?
I'm not acting big Scooby, I'm simply speaking straight with you and everyone else in the discussion. I'd speak this way to your face if there was some sort of congruent "discussion board" type arrangement in real life. This topic has your name on it, you started it, and it's an open discussion board.
I make no bones about it, people who refuse to think because they put a premium on "feeling" instead, are problem people, imo. They spend their life causing problems, encountering problems w/o ever finding solutions, overdramatising faux problems, exacerbating real problems...etc etc. It's a sucky way to live, with no upside that I can see. It's not as if by looking at things squarely, with reason, one isn't able to experience emotions anymore.
I don't want to infer that just because so many of us (apostates) say the JW organization has real problems, that makes it true, but OTH, if anything seems arrogant, it is you coming on this board and hand-waving away both the feelings (from experience) and the logic (from so many of us having actually made the effort to understand and study our experience) of so many people, simply because in the freakish little corner of JW land that you have lived in, you haven't "felt" the pain as acutely (or sympathetically, for that matter) as many others. No one can force you to look past your own experience, but it is generally considered a good thing and an honerable thing to do so.
One point on that last sentence. I can feel you taking insult from here, but simply put, your experience with JW's is unusual to the point of being freakish. You simply can't find very many other people like you in regards their JW experience.
